It was the day before mot was due to expire (booked in for weeks). Scramble back to Birmingham then on to Brierley Hill where CVT fit us in same day. It didn't fail but we had a handbrake issue too. We returned for the service a couple of weeks later. They were very reasonable and knowledgeable.

If you look at the Fiat service work schedule you will see for the money you pay you get very little done. Oil change and filters. I appreciate you are miles from Portsmouth but Adam Morley are Fiat Proffessional but also have a expertise around service of motorhome and the chassis that they are built upon. So when it comes to greasing various points these are checked and serviced. Over the years the advice given for work carried out outside the service schedule have saved many MH owners thousands in repair costs. An example the Clutch fluid change and calibration on the Fiat Comformatic gearbox Fiat state every two years change fluid. Many Fiat dealers skip this and do not recalibrate. Adam Morley advise yearly as the gearbox needs regular change and calibration. Just an example of finding a service garage that knows what needs doing and can be trusted. I have owned a MH for 15 years and have the oil changed every year for peace of mind. These vehicle can sit around for periods of time not driven so can go bad. Re the oil leak Ducato have a history of the sump seal going after three/ four years. So have the seal changed at next service Keep up your fun channel. Many go off the boil after a year or so and change what the post thus change what you set out to be

Rather surprised that a three year-old vehicle had not "Self-Adjusted" its handbrake mechanism and required adjusting manually.....despite the PDI and subsequent servicing over the three years. It's a sad reflection on most garages that they simply do not follow the full procedures when they are charging top-dollar for routine service work. Then complain that "Joe Public" does not understand the problems garages have. It's simple: Do the work for a fair price. You have a customer for life. Main dealers where I live are the worst offenders. Inventing expensive remedial work yet ignoring the basics ....like handbrake adjustment. Criminal in my book.
